    hi all,

    thinking of replacing 2 basins & put on tiles for toilet & bathrooms,
    wondering if the quote below is reasonable?
    i got quote below for €850 +VAT,

    does he need to take the toilet out for tiling and then put it back???
    & does grout & tiling takes long??
    thanks...

    A plumber usually charges between 200-350 to change a basin and toilet so taking it out counts as the same.

    The price seems ok

    However i have a theory..... Not all plumbers can do basic tiling but all tilers can do basic plumbing. It make work out cheaper if you get a tiler to do it and will be a better job.
